Hi there - Can anyone compare this to the Flying Turtle (which looks to be a similar product but is a bit less expensive)?

Flying Turtles and Roller Racers both have heavy-duty injection molded seat, tubular steel handlebars, and non-marring polyurethane wheels. Roller Racers have upgraded handlebars - ramshorm shape instead of straight design and 2 buffer wheels - also higher weight limit and bumper sticker on seat

hi...The original roller racer 5000a is amazing..very high quality and smooth performance...my 4 yr old granddaughter and all the neighbor kids love it....can't compare it though as I've never had a flying turtle....

I'm not sure what the flying turtle is, however my son loves the roller races, will roll all day if he could

Hi! The handlebars are a little different. On the flying turtle, they go straight back, on the roller racer they come in. I bought this for my three year old and thought it would be an easier reach for him. The roller racer is rated for more weight than the flying turtle, I think up to 150 pounds which is good for me since I like playing with it too and I figured it would get more use than the flying turtle. Hope this helps.

I have never flown a quad although I want to. This one is fairly easy to learn and it's small enough to learn indoors where you can control the wind a little better. It's not like those cheap $50 airhogs with the dual blades so it is a little bit more responsive than one of those. It is actually very nimble and I find myself getting it into trouble with a wall or something easily but if you take it slow initially (at least for the beginner heli pilot like me) you can learn a lot and it's very fun. The only thing is that I try to keep a couple of skids on hand because I haven't gotten too much practice landing easily. The parts for it are very cheap though so that's a plus.

I have both, the turtle and the OctoPlay. My Ratties don't like the turtle but the love the Octoplay. I have purchased 3 over the last 2 years because they tend to shred things. I cut the head off the turtle because the opening was to small and gave it to my guinea pigs and they love it.

I think you should really check out the globe bantam board. It's really sturdy too and works just as well. My friend has it and he really likes it. Its just a few inches longer but it makes no difference. It just might make it easier. Trust me. >.<

The pump is good. I have 1 slider at about 6 inch long shell. I just use just the right-angled tube / pipe to circulate the water and it definitely moves the water. I have had this turtle for over 20 years (it might be closer to 25). Best pump yet. I always skimped on the filter investment, but I am happy with this one. The filter will need to be cleaned every couple months or so or when the circulation really slow down. But a high amount of debris might be normal for turtles. Again, I am pleased with the pump.

I would recommend a Perch and Go Clear view carrier which amazon has one for $15 cheaper then what I paid. I have two. and travel alot with my birds. its taller but narrower. It does not have food or water dish so you may need to put in at least weighted water dish if you travel very far. the perch they include is plastic but I replaced with concrete perch but you would not have to do that.

We had the Litter Genie and replaced it with the Litter Champ. The Litter Champ refills last longer and we find them simple to replace. Overall the Litter Champ bag liners are a better value. The Litter Genie holds less litter (with our 2 cats we had to empty twice a week), and requires two hands to operate. None of the pet waste systems are inexpensive to use, but we have found the Litter Champ to be worth the investment :-)

I went with the less expensive model. It was durable and my cats played with it-my goal. They were 10 years old when I bought the unit and the male figured out he could lay on the unit and reduce the amount of distance the mouse traveled...then he continued to swatch the mouse until he caught it. It's held up well for me...I'll have it again for my next round of kittens and the fun will begin all over again.

From what I've read, the little one sounds exactly like mine, the one for $132. I would buy the cheaper one. I use it every day and love it!!

I would recommend the sevylor rio instead of the quickpack. It is better made and it is open like a canoe. It doesn't track in the water quite as well as the quickpack but for an inflatable it's a fun way to get away from the shoreline and get some exercise.

Agree with dragonfly. My son is autistic and it is a life saver and a hd saver. Lol

I would get something that would support the snake at its full size. As a fish and reptile keeper I always get environments that would support the creatures full size. In the long run it might also be cheaper than getting something new every so often.

I think Air Ranger is just the brand name. We got the clown fish last year for my wife's nephew. It was a HUGE hit! It is pretty easy to fly even for a 5 year old whereas helicopters can be too difficult. I hope this was helpful.

I actually just called the company and they said there is no difference between the two models. They just market them differently for those people who have small dogs or cats. So go with the cheaper one (small version)!

You're most welcome. This turtle is a favorite of our family and travels with the girls wherever they go to spend the night. Hope you enjoy it :)

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

We bought two of the Fellowes air purifiers (the 200 and 100 models) specifically because we learned our toddler had a minor cat allergy and we hoped it could help. Completely anecdotal evidence, but I really like it and think they have been working well. I would definitely recommend the 200 over the 100 (better airflow design, actually more compact/smaller, quieter on lowest setting yet stronger fan on higher settings).We also bought a robotic vacuum to clean everyday to try to help with the dander, and I think that has been a really big help as well. Good luck!
